Pace of play was awesome!

Had an 11:40 tee time and arrived with about 10 minutes till our tee time. Teed off and never had anybody on our backs and none of the holes were backed up. The price was a little high but the course was in great shape!

Another beautiful day for golf in SoCal

When we went to check in, the pro shop didn't show our reservation that I booked through golf now. I showed my confirmation email and they were able to get us out 5 minutes after our tee time.

Bumpy Greens, Unadvertised Cart Fee

Vineyard is an excellent course with distinctly different front and back nines.

Our round on April 1 was enjoyable overall. I was miffed when each member in our group was charged $15 for a cart when that was not mentioned anywhere before I booked, or in the confirmation. So, it turned what we thought was a good deal into a still-decent deal but the unexpected charge was a bad way to start.

I think that only the 18th green rolled well; all the others were rather bumpy and it became a running joke throughout our round. Conditions overall were pretty good but not as good as previous outings there.

Outstanding course

Great course greens were punched a couple weeks ago. They had not fully recovered. I am playing the course again next Tuesday with 15 of my friends the greens will be perfect by then. Looking forward to that round.

Recovering vinyard

Got a great rate but hadn't planned on putting on a pinball surface . Putts would hold the line due to recent maintenance...the rest of the course was great.

Horrible Course Conditions

With rounds up during covid and the price of this course, it should be in much better condition. It’s gone downhill.

I was very disappointed with the condition of the fairways and greens. The grass in the fairways is getting worse every year. I was not notified that the greens were punched. I usually get notified when I book the tee time and the course usually charges less when this happens.
